Non-Boxing Cards of Boxers

2 Attachment(s)

Last week I picked up a 1948 Leaf FB of Terry Brennan. I was surprised to read on the back that he was the 165 pound boxing champ at Notre Dame. Then, just a couple days later I was looking at my '54 Topps and learned from the back that Tommy Lasorda was a boxer in the military. Hmm.

Boss Schmidt of T206 fame supposedly did some boxing, but you wouldn't get that info from his T206.

What non-boxing cards do you have or know of that refer to the subject as a boxer? Show them here.

I don't think either card refers to it but here are a few more pugs:

Al Rosen was the Florida state high school middleweight champ.

Victor McLaglen was a serious heavyweight and even boxed an exhibition with Jack Johnson.

...nice postcard of Louis, and something (IMO) I would consider a boxing-related item.
